Problems with 1999 Volvo V70 FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

I had my trottle unit, pcv system replaced twice on my 1999 volvo v70, once under warranty and again 35000 miles later at my expense ($1041.91). i have subsequently learned that this is a pervasive problem with these model volvo cars from years 1999 through 2001. an article in the las angelos times dated may 3, 2005 states that between 21 and 94% of these units fail within the first 100,000 miles. volvo na refuces to recall these units apparently, according to the article, replacing some units under a silent extended warranty program. i am requesting your organization to investigate this matter and, if found that the majority of these units fail within the time period specified, you mandate that volvo na recall these units. as such, those of us who have already paid to have them replaced can receive a full refund for the repair.

Regular maintenance was performed on the vehicle (1999 volvo v70). aty 67000 miles, the ets light came on, and two days later the electronic throttle failed, resulting in almost no acceleration, and an inability to maintain a safe speed. research indicates that this is well documented as a vehicle design flaw, and a common occurance at 70k miles. this seems to be a highly hazardous flaw, and should be acknowledged and repaired as a manufacturing defect. instead, it is a dealer only repair, and is costing consumers $700-1500 for the repair. i believe it should be investigated. volvo should be responsible to repair a noted design flaw at their expense.*ak
